Eaten by the Waves: Taking Sound in an Age of Extraction

9 May 2025Placek Festival, Brno, Czechia

Sound is never neutral—it is woven into fabrics of space, power, consent, and history. In this immersive six-hour workshop, artists HYENAZ guide participants through deep listening, field recording, and sound mapping as radical practices of attunement. Through hands-on exercises, discussion, and sonic experimentation, we explore how sound shapes our perception of place, storytelling, and agency in an era of extraction.

Participants engage in:

  • Embodied Deep Listening — Attuning to the politics of frequency and vibration
  • Ethical Field Recording Tactics — Capturing soundscapes as acts of custodianship, not conquest
  • Alchemical Sound Design — Morphing found audio into musique concrète and speculative atmospheres using open source software
  • Sonic Storytelling — Weaving raw recordings into narratives of place and displacement
